The story is real.
The list almost certainly is not.
Too simple.
That’s a made-for-TV movie.

You can have no books or all the books. There is no compromise.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

I must not discourse.
Discourse is the mind-killer.
Discourse is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face the discourse.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

I'm a fan of remix culture, I learned during the rise of culture jamming, so I'm not averse to remixulation of content, we should just prioritize humane process over "efficient" programmable ones. I don't know about you, but efficiency is not something I look for in art.

AI can only give you what has been fed into it, remixed. Not all texts have been digitized. Using physical books and the world around you in a process allows for more diverse input than relying on a singular methodology that I perceive AI uses.

If you want answers, you can FIND an answer and if all you're looking for is AN answer, there's going to be someone better than you doing it cheaper. I teach dadaist, surrealist, situationist process art instead of algorithmic corporate slop.

I don't assign papers in my discipline, but AI can generate iterations and variations for designs. I espouse framing the questions as: Describe this tree in terms of a fish, e.g. how is a raven like a writing desk? It's more about deepening the mystery than finding a solution.

Locking down your phone, being mindful of what you're wearing, and coming up with plans to communicate with others are all key steps to take before attending a protest.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

poor Nintendo, announcing the Switch 2 just in time to have it cost ten thousand dollars

Yep

Everyone’s talking about Ghibli, but what about Fist of the North Star?

This is the most openly corrupt act by a sitting President in the history of America. It is now 4.40 PM - and Politico, WaPo and NYT are simply refusing to cover it. NYT wrote 35 articles speculating on the POSSIBLE corruption of Clinton Foundation. Which was never found.

A news article headline reads, "White House Plans to Pause $175 Million for Penn Over Transgender Policy." The subheadline states that the decision is part of a broader effort to push universities to end diversity programming and adopt stricter discipline. Below the text is a photograph of a historic building on the University of Pennsylvania's campus, with a statue in the foreground and leafless trees framing the image. The article is authored by Alan Blinder and Michael C. Bender, published on March 19, 2025.

A news article continues discussing the Trump administration's decision to suspend $175 million in federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania due to its policies regarding transgender athletes. The article references a White House social media account announcing the move, citing Penn's support of transgender swimmer Lia Thomas as a justification. A response from Penn states that they have not received official notification and assert they are in compliance with all relevant regulations.

You wouldn't know from reading this New York Times story about Trump punishing the University of Pennsylvania for trans athletes that there are no trans athletes on women's teams at the University of Pennsylvania because the New York Times didn't find that detail worth including

“Kennedy said in a recent Fox News interview that farmers “should consider maybe the possibility of letting it run through the flock so that we can identify the birds, and preserve the birds that are immune to it,” an idea that experts say would be dangerous and hurt the poultry industry.”

These are the same Senate Democrats who lectured the base for years about the importance of preserving the filibuster so it would still be available when Democrats were in the minority

Trump keeps repeating this lie about federal employees not showing up to work. @propublica.org and others have thoroughly debunked:

We're hearing from multiple sources that all U.S. Dept. of Ed buildings are closing at 6 p.m. and are closed tomorrow. Email to staff cites "security reasons."
